RECIPES

My mother is a chef. I grew up around great, homemade food and have found a passion for culinary arts and, more recently, craft cocktail making. I've decided to share some of my recipes and creations as part of an experiment to push myself to invent, taste and try more things.

The original recipe of the Big Texan, published on the Food & Wine website in 2013, features a simple and delicious blend of grapefruit juice, simple syrup, basil and bourbon. But I couldn't simply recreate the cocktail without trying out a little bit of a winter spin, right?
